'OILER-TIIP FOR BOTTLES OR CANS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 537,111, dated April 9,1 895.

Application filed January 10, 18 95 To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES CARROLL HEN- DERSON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing in the city of Jamestown, in the county of Chautauquaand State of New York, have invented certain new aud useful Improvementsin Oiler-Tips for Bottles or Cans; and I do declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

The object of my invention is to provide bottles, cans and similarvessels having a small neck or opening, with a cheap stopper, that maybe readily converted into an oiler tip or used for similar purposeswhere small quantities of fluids are desired to be discharged.

The improvement consists of a stopper made of rubber, or part rubber andpart of metal or other material, having an elastic or pressible bulbabove the top of the bottle, and provided with a large air chamberwithin the bulb, also a closed tip that may be cut 0E when it is desiredto convert the stopper into an oiler tip, all of which will be fullyunderstood by this specification and the accompanying drawings,in'whicl1 Figure 1 shows a common glass bottle with stopper, embodyingmy invention in cross section. Fig. 2 shows stopper in two parts. Fig. 3shows stopper fitted over mouth of bottle. Fig. 4 shows stopper withplug in bottom to prevent the contents entering stopper when in transit.Fig. 5 shows stopper as used for oiler tip. p

In the drawings, A represents a'glass bottle; B, the opening made incommon form (but may be a can or other vessel having a suitable openingto receive stopper). This bottle is provided with my improved stopper oroiler. tip, shown in Fig. 1 in cross section. Thisstopperis preferablymade of rubber, but may be part of metal or other substance Serial No.534,440. (No model.)

if desired, it it has a pressible bulb or air chamber within.

0 is the oiler tip.

D is the part that enters the bottle as shown and should be of suitablesize to fill the orifice closely so as not to be easily displaced.

E is the bulb.

I is the air chamber within.

F is the cone.

G is the apex which is made to close the top of the oiler tip when usedas a stopper and which is cut off to convert the stopper into an oilertip as shown at g, Fig. 5.

In Fig. 3, the lower part of the stopper is made to go over the mouth ofthe bottle, the lower part 0' being made heavier to clasp under the rimof the bottle asshown.

When in transit it is sometimes desirable that the oil or other contentsof the bottle should not come into the bulb, and this is prevented bythe plug a, which may have a fiat head to cover the whole bottom of thestopper.

This stopper is found very useful medicine dropper.

Having described my invention, what I consider as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is p As a new article of manufacture, astopper made substantially as shown, of an integral piece having apressible bulb above the bottle or can, a tip at its outer end adaptedto be out off to convert said stopper into. an oiler tip or medicinedropper substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I now subscribe my name in thepresence of two witnesses.

CHARLES O. HENDERSON.
